​In our very first BubbleUp Take5 post, I mentioned that I had attended a sketchnoting session at edCamp NOVA. Driven by the in-person energy of Margaret, a fabulous FCPS colleague who exudes pure inspiration in everything she does, I decided to try it out. I promised to share my first attempt on our blog. The end of the school year is a good time to look back and reflect, thus, my first sketchnote is a year in review.

​Let's face it. This time of year, we are awash in testing, end of school year to-do lists, and that constant nagging feeling that there is never enough time. While this is usually a time to opt out of something new, we encourage you to lean into some new practices, strike up conversations about education news, and keep searching for new ideas. To help out, we've picked out a few things we want to you check out.

So, take 5 minutes, look through some of the resources that have helped our ideas bubble up lately, keep counting down the days until summer, and make sure you are living and teaching each and every one of those days to its fullest.​
